Walter on Shuster
"Jared is a talented young left-handed pitcher with a good fastball that he commands well, and an outstanding change-up. As his breaking ball improves so should his role with the team. He is projected to be our Tuesday starter this year and will hopefully pitch on the weekends in future years."
